I recently got onto one of the Barack Obama websites (there are quite a few) to see what his attitude toward gun ownership was. What I found out has me conerned, due to the HSUS (a rabid antihunting group) having announced that they are backing him.

Some of you may remember the armor-piercing bullet bill which Reagan vetoed. I wondered what all the fuss was about at that time, since my information concerning this bullet was that it was military ordnance and therefore not available to the civilian populace anyway, in spite of what Lethal Weapon III showed. But I was also a member of the NRA at that time (and have rejoined this organization again recently), and was sent a report of what that bill really was trying to ban.

Antihunting groups, and the politicians they have in their pockets, added other bullets to those that were to be outlawed. Along with those that were specifically designed as armor-piercing bullets, all other bullets above a certain power were to be declared as illegal, irregardless oftheir content andthe purpose for their having been manufactured. According to the NRA,this would have effectively banned all hunting rifle bullets, and therefore put an end to hunting. Reagan realized this and promptly vetoed the bill because of it.

Barack Obama has already stated that he intends to ban armor-piercing bullets and semiautomatic firearms as part of his presidency. Be prepared, because with his already being supported by antihunters, we will probably find ourselves again fighting for our right to hunt. But this time, if he is elected, we will be fighting against not only the groups, but also a president who, either through naivete or deliberate collusion, is in league with them.
